Zróżnicowanie strategii życiowych muchówek . The diversity of life strategies of Diptera

Our paper is a brief review of the diverse life strategies of Diptera. We discuss the lifestyle of adult dipterans and the importance of immature stages as saprophages, mycetophages, phytophages, and parasites on the examples of selected taxa and their specific adaptations to life and survival in various biotopes, including other living organisms, pointing to both their immense role in the circulation and decomposition of organic matter and the still insufficient knowledge on their ecology, biology, and systematics.
